Photographer’s Note

Another street shot from Manila. Many kids are forced to beg just to sustain their daily meals. Some are taken to foster homes but most of them just rather stay in the streets and beg for money. I just wonder what kind of future will this kids face if we always look the other way.

Hi Arman, a very moving shot. You've got very close, so we can see all the hard details. The dirt on his body and clothes, the few coins in his glass, the somewhat sad expression on his face.
A good piece of journalism and a sad story..

arman, your shots never fail to impress me. This photo journalistic shot strikes me on many levels. The expressions, the dirt, the colours, the lost look in the childs face. Great work documenting this sad subject, its great viewing your gallery.

Take care
